The poison conveyed by the hu.

to deal with. A ckewed a or
a nose is months healing, where q
more important wound in Inflicted
BY an instrument would readily
yield to simple remedies. I have
had under my attention severe
and most complicated cases Of blood
poisoning, in which the patient had
but slightly abraded the hand in the
course OF a fight by striking his
knuckles against the teeth eff his
opponent. I have known hands
thus poisoned only saved from am
putation by the application Of all
the resources of %ecience. Tobacco
or whiskey, or disarrangement Of the
stomach from many other causes,
may be responsible for this poison.

The Elections.

IL
The elections yesterday we're not
particularly Interesting or important.
Viewed as evidence of the drift OF
public sentiment they are encourag-
ing to the Democracy, and give them
every reason to hope for success in
the next presidential campaign. The
greatest importance naturally at
,ached to New York. both on &C.
count Of the large electoral vote Of
the State, and the ~closeness Of the
election in 1884. The Democratic
| chances Here wero counted as bad
in view of probable dcfections to the
Labor marty, but despite any defec,
tons. the Democrats were successful

of the prohibit:euists. The latter
haze pollcl quite a respectable vote,
secured largely from the Republican
ranks, whereas the Labor vote came
mainly from the Democrats. In New
York City the majority for Cook is
one of the largest ever given.
Altogether, considering the disad-
vantage under which the Democracy
labored. the result is highly crafty
ing ard puts the party in unusually
good shape tor uext year's election.
In Virginia the result assures the
Democrats of a Senator in the place
of Riddleberger, which will aid
largely 10 securing control of the
Senate. In Maryland also Demo.
cratic success is assured. Most Of
the other elections were iosegone
conclusions long in advance. In
Massachusetts the Republicans have
secured an Increased majority. not.
outstanding the earnest fight Of the
Democrats. Ohio also elects the
